In the right hands, a Borgward makes a very nice resto rod

Great photos but let's keep it cars that we see on our daily rounds. We have plenty of threads here full of car show photos and cars we used to own, etc.

Until I saw "El Diablito" I doubt if I'd ever seen a Falcon Sedan Delivery; and the 4wd conversion makes it even more wonderful. I see this at least once a week.

And here's a couple of Chevy II Hardtops in SS trim. Both powered by stovebolts; 230's if I recall correctly.

Here’s a 912 that was just on the street in Capitola one morning years ago. Pretty distinctive and I’ve not seen it since.
